    Joshua Clottey isn't a good counter-puncher to start.

    He isn't fast and timing isn't great either.

    He's a fighter he fights in spurts and waits for his opponent to finish his combination, then throws his combination, then re-sets. All whilst trying to walk you down.

    Something that would never ever ever work against Manny Pacquaio.

    Utterly different to Floyd Mayweather though I mean there is literally no comparison.

      the cuts and bruises can be accounted for the glove types
      more than likely floyd will be wearing grants

        Some may see the Ortiz fight as proving Manny can't get off, but I see it as proof that he can. Ortiz was close several times, and even landed a good amount of times too. He showed you that Floyd can be hit in exchanges. Manny is not only faster than Vic, but he's more intelligent too.

          Yeah he only bullied Mosley, Marg and Cotto.

          Manny is great a judging the range and is far more mobile than Floyd, his in and out footwork will cause trouble.

            I never once said Clottey is a counter puncher.

            He actually has zero counter punching ability as far as I'm concerned. He's offense or defense fighter.

            I said Floyd is quicker and has better timing on placement of punches.

            And, the single, and only reason I used Clottey.. was because his success of landing the straight right hand on Manny was excellent.. something Floyd will take to the next level.

            It doesn't appear you read from the beginning of where I started mentioning Clottey.

              Anyone else notice how Floyd was lunging with the right against Ortiz, his chin very exposed to the left hook over the top. Seemed a lot more open that usual.

              Very difficult punch to time, but if any can Manny can.

                His left will be taken out of play, the jab Manny will block or counter and if Floyd get brave and decided to throw the left hook, then a right hook right roll under will be coming up.


                You really need to quit.

                  Not even in the same realm of fighter. All 3 of those fighters are easier to bully because you can hit them ... all of them... whenever you want.

                  If you can do it enough, which Manny could, then you can bully them.

                  If you land one flush punch on Floyd it's a big deal because it barely ever happens.

                  Also, getting Floyd on the ropes is not bullying... not if you're ineffective.

                      Both Ortiz and Mosley have bigger one punch power than Pac at WW. Pac's one punch knockout power is RIDICULOUSLY overrated. Outside of Hatton I really can't think of a one punch KO Pac has had in the last 5-6 years.
